Our Florida trip - Fun in the pool

Ry had an especially fun time in the pool on this trip!  He loved to jump from the side into someone's arms in the water, and by the end of the trip he could kick around the pool on his own with a noodle under his arms.  So awesome to see him enjoying the water and doing so well.  Maylee was a little more cautious :) and didn't last as long as Ry, but still enjoyed it.

Daddy throws me so high!!

Having a blast playing with Uncle Gary and Auntie Lainie!

What a face! (Jason called this "The princess is trapped in the castle")

Chillin on the porch with some snacks (and my Starbucks :) ) after pool time

And in the pool again later in our trip...

Borrowing Grandpa Larry's googles and "swimming" with the noodle!

Loving jumping in!

Our Florida trip - Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas Day!  Ry was pretty patient and more into breakfast, so we had a yummy big breakfast then opened presents.  Grandpa, Grandma Deb and Auntie Kimmy got us all such fun stuff... from a big farm play set, to a truck and lunar rover, to books, puzzles, and bath toys... and the kids are having so much fun with all of it now too.  My mom, Lainie, and Gary came over in the afternoon for Christmas dinner (and later Deb's sister Linda and her boys Brandon and Kyle joined us for dessert too).  Fun and precious family times!

Delivering gifts!

This is one of the best photos of the three of us we have! :)

"Surfing" on Uncle Gary

Grandpa and Grandma Deb made a fabulous meal!

Kimmy and her friend Doris

Maylee was especially snuggly (she had a bit of a fever, so we took it easy)

We went on a drive to see the Christmas lights... this ariplane was a favorite

And I liked this one... a reminder of what the Christmas season is all about... from loving each other, to the love God showed us when He sent His Son to earth as a baby
